2 teenagers, Piper Hadley and Tash McBain , are polar opposites but this does not stop them from being very close friends. One Sunday morning, they mysteriously disappear and this incident has caused a nationwide search for them. After an exhaustive search that proved to be unsuccessful and highly disheartening for their families, the search stops and becomes dormant until three years later.
During a harrowing blizzard that practically paralyzes the city, a husband and wife are brutally killed in the farmhouse where one of the girls used to live. In addition, they also discover a frozen and highly mutilated corpse of the girl who used to be a resident of the mentioned farmhouse but in a different area.The suspect they apprehend is the mentally unstable handyman of the couple who they recently fired. This troubled young man hears voices and claims that he saw a girl that night being chased by a snowman. Hence it was up to Psychologist Joe O'Loughlin to analyze the situation and try to see if their findings can actually help locate and save the other missing girl.
This is a fast paced thriller which kept you guessing up to the near end. Just when you thought you found the killer, an unexpected turn of events comes in to shock the reader.The only thing I did not like about this book was that several incidents from earlier books of Mr. Robotham are mentioned, hence giving out spoilers for the previous books of this particular series. Hence, I shall be reading his first book, "Suspect ",after I am done writing this critique.
